    This is beside your point but a related question to the first part is, why does Satan punish bad people? Shouldn’t he appreciate that about them?

      Satan doesn’t punish. Satan’s whole job is temptation. Anyone tempted would technically be punished by god.

      I assume the mixup has to be resultant of the constant game of religious Telephone. Not really surprising. It’s pretty awkward to frame your spotless savior who is the living embodiment of Love as also doing deliberate premeditated torture, even when it’s written right there. And comparatively simple to expect it from someone who’s supposed to embody unpleasantness.
